Thailand-Cambodia Friendship Bridge

The Thailand-Cambodia Friendship Bridge connects Ban Nong Ian in Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo province, Thailand, with Stung Bot near Poipet in Banteay Meanchey province, Cambodia. It serves as a road crossing for traffic and commerce between the two countries.

The bridge was built from a bilateral agreement between Thailand and Cambodia to establish a permanent border crossing. This project strengthened transportation links and boosted economic cooperation between the two countries.

The lotus flower design in the bridge's lighting reflects traditional elements shared by Thai and Cambodian cultures. This choice shows how both nations express their values in the structure that connects them.

The border checkpoint operates daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, allowing time for travelers and trucks to cross. Plan for possible queues and bring required documentation for customs procedures in both countries.

The bridge was built using a balanced cantilever method that eliminated the need for temporary supports during construction. This technique made the building process more efficient and reduced disruption to the area below.
